Our Leadership

Save Sunshine Shelter Kids is incredibly blessed with an exceptional staff. An organization is only as strong as the people working towards a common purpose, and we are fortunate to have a clear mission and some of the best people in Uganda. Our daily work wouldn’t be possible without our amazing team on the ground, as well as the volunteers who serve on our leadership team and executive board. We are honored to be led by a group of men and women who are deeply committed to leading with integrity, compassion, and wisdom.
